Drive Belt Tensioner - Automatic

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2003 Ford RV Cutaway, 2003 Ford Econoline, 2003 Ford E550 Super Duty, 2003 Ford E450 Super Duty, and 2003 Ford Cutaway. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
NOTE: Drive belt tension is not adjustable.

The drive belt tensioner automatically adjusts drive belt tension.

CAUTION: The drive belt tensioner has no provision for adjustment and will be damaged if forced to travel beyond its operating range.

Check the automatic drive belt tensioner:

  1. With the engine off, check for correct drive belt routing; refer to the DRIVE BELT ROUTING  illustrations. Repair as necessary.
  2. Rotate the drive belt tensioner and check for a binding or frozen condition. Install new components as necessary.
